This centre is being set up with the project cost of Rs 51.92 crore wherein contribution of DHI is Rs 26.27 crore.
Anant Geete said this is an effort towards ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Prime Minister as it will help in reducing imports of moulds and dies. The training facilities at the centre will help in meeting the demand of skilled manpower in the tooling industry. It would enhance employment opportunities for the skilled candidates and take the country forward towards skill development goal set by Prime Minister, he added.
This centre will cater to the needs of MSME tool rooms in and around Pune for the supply of sheet metal dies, plastic moulds, die casting dies, jigs & fixtures. These tool rooms will be able to use hi-tech manufacturing and try out facilities for the tools to be manufactured by them.
